Couplet Poetry



On a hot summer day

My family and I go away

Diving in the swimming pool

That water keeps me cool

With a cool fizzy drink in my hand

We listen to the music played by the band


A wonderful day a camp

It was time to eat

The grass may be damp

But a burger was such a nice treat

Operation Flax

Mrs harper moved in to the next door neighbour and wanted to move the flax bush. Freya and her mum didn't want her to move it.

 After school, Freya made a present to try and persuade mrs harper to not move the bush. Terry (Mr Harper), loved watching the tuis eat from the flax bush.

  Instead of taking the bush away the moved it to the back of Mr and Mrs Harpers backyard

One of the Best Birthdays Ever!!



Waking up to the sound of rain, I was hoping it would clear up. “Man!, every time I have my birthday in Hamilton, it always rains in the morning”, I complain to my little cousin. Concentrating on the game, he didn't realise. “Happy Birthday” my aunty Karol mutters out after just waking up. Then my uncle Manuel woke up after a long night of PS2. “Morning”, we say to each other.

  Up and ready to go we make our way to the bus stop. Splitting up my uncle and cousin go to town while my aunty and I go and get some clothes for me.(At my aunties house). “Aahh that's better, now I feel awake”, I sigh.
 
   Meeting Uncle Manuel and Rawiri in town at time-zone, straight away I ask for money to play the games. “Die, die, die!!!”, I scream to the skeletons in the boat. Sadly we didn't win anything but this was what I was waiting for. TIME TO GO ICE SKATING!!!

Of course my advance skills for ice skating had faded but that didn't mean I couldn't have fun. And it definitely didn't stop my aunty. Slipping our skates on we were beyond the rink. Sadly my aunty fell face first into the ground and got wet.

Of course my uncle would love to be on TV so when the central news came we has skating all over them.(Not literally). When the left so did we. Straight to the butter chicken went my aunty and I.

  Scooping up all the sauce, we were soon on our way home. “Thanks for the awesome birthday, Aunty and uncle. And that was one of the best birthdays I've ever had. Thanks to my Aunty Karol and Uncle Manuel.

Curiosity Beyond

After a hot Summer day, my friends and I were passing by the Pt.England Dairy.  Strangely enough, a person wandering around the shops look unusually casual, perhaps too casual. Entering the shops, I had a suspicious feeling that, the strange person was following Lisia, Jonita and I. What was going on?

  The suspense grew as we ate our lollies. Turning around, the strange man pretended to look as if he was apart of a family behind us. “ Girls on three, start to run okay”, I whispered to them. “But why” they replied, “Just do it!”.

   “ Three ”, and we started running. With exhaustion, we ran through the traffic of teenagers finishing college. Not even noticing, one of us had gone away. As Jonita and I turn back, we saw that weird man with Lisia. “Sia”, we scream as we sprint to get her. A pink car pulls up looking like his getaway car. luckily Jonita and I got there in time and snatched Lisia off that psycho guy. Checking if Lisia was all right she had a knife cut on her arm.

Rushing Sia to the hospital, to checked up, we were determined to find out what that strange man wanted from us.

An Amazing Term of Sport

Term Three was an amazing term of sport for me.  I competed in many events and codes.
I will try to remember all of them to share in this post.

My Girl's rugby team came second in the Champion of Champions.
My team came third in our A Grade Netball competition played every week after school on Tuesdays.
We came 4th in our first ever Hip Hop competition.
My team came first in our interzone Rippa Rugby Competition.

And when our team won the Grand Final of the Auckland School Girls' Rugby Competition on Eden Park, I decided it was time to write a post about it!

After a long term of training it all came to an end with the Grand Finals being held at Eden Park.
There were six schools competing and we had to make it through to the final round.
We played against Viscount girls' team, who we had beaten in the first round, but we were feeling nervous.

In the first minute or so Viscount scored the first try.  But that didn't stop us from winning.
If you look at the final score - 35 to 15, you can see that NOTHING could have stopped us.

It was a great day!
